    The reason I asked is becaue it would be nice to have a hard copy, in case something happens to the computer. Having purchased it, can you download it again if you needed to? I am NOT looking to find ways to get more out of the transaction than just one person having the movie. It's like e-books that the Mrs. has downloaded on occasion. If something happens to the computer - poof! - they're gone! Of course, if the house burns down, every book and DVD on the shelf is gone, too, so . . .

    Thanks for that update on the availability of this film!

    After you download, can you burn the movie to disc? I'm not real familiar with Amazon Digital.

    ilovestrategy,


    First of all, WELCOME to the Original John Wayne Message Board! We hope you have a good time here, hanging out with John Wayne fans from around the world.


    As to your question, I did quite a bit of searching around, and the best I could come up with is that to "pull a murphy" must mean something along the lines of pulling a 'switcheroo' or substituting one thing for another (in this case, the newspaper for real money). The only reference to 'pull a murphy' in the Urban Dictionary was to someone dumping a boy/girlfriend for his/her best friend.


    Hope that helps!

    Brannigan is definitely not one of our favorites, but it is interesting to see Duke in this genre of film.


    Like you, we compare it with McQ, in that they are very similar. I hate to admit it, but Clint Eastwood is better at this type of film. Of course, he was much younger than John Wayne at that time.


    One thing we do know - they must have had a great cast party when the filming was over, because they all chowed on some of Chilibill's special chili, prepared especially for the Duke! :lol:
